Not seeing a birth for Mary Jane Woolmer,

Hi Patchem,
Thanks for the reply, yes I have found Mary Jane on the following;
1901 Census, 1911 Census, Marriage Register & 1918 London Electoral Register - but only mention of her father Edward Woolmer is in the Marriage Register.

Hi Mike,
Yes, got the Marriage details but I also cannot find birth record for Mary Jane Woolmer - Census returns state she was born in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire ?

Wonder if this is her brother and the father's name is actually Edmund ????

WOLLMER Mary Jane - Newport P. 3a 605

Newport Pagnell covers Bletchley

Thanks Mike, sounds like a good lead for me to follow-up, was always concerned about possible spelling anomalies with the surname, had not considered alternative first names.

Mary Jane born 1880 so she should be on 1881 census.

Thanks again Mike, this is more than I was hoping for, much appreciated.
Wrong first name and changes to the spelling of the surname, written as it was spoken at the time perhaps ?
I am sure that these leads will set me on the right track to gather more details.
